Kāpiti Olive Oil produces this Leccino variety as part of their premium New Zealand Extra Virgin Olive Oil range. This Tuscan variety typically presents aromas of freshly cut grass, green fruits such as apple and artichokes, and fresh herbs, balanced with a warm peppery aftertaste.

The oil is characterised by its light freshness, making it particularly suitable for drizzling on salads, pasta, pizza, and fish dishes. It also works well in baking applications or drizzled over desserts. Additionally, it serves as an excellent dipping oil for warm bread.

Kāpiti Olive Oil grows their olives on the Kāpiti Coast, which offers an ideal temperate climate for olive trees with warm, mild conditions and good sunshine hours. The Leccino oil is available in 250ml, 500ml, and 1000ml sizes, with a special Leccino/Picual blend also offered in a 500ml bottle.
